TOM M'GRATH CONDUCTS ANNUAL RETREAT HERE Value of the Soul Compared j With That of the Body Is Opening Text Father Tom McGrath, who con- ' ' ducted the annual retreat for uni- ' versity students for the past three j * ; days chose as his opening sermon ; ( i the familiar text, "What doth it | j 1 profit a man if he gain the whole j, I world and lose his soul?" L God created us and put us on , this earth for a purpose—that of , J saving our immortal souls and of j I serving Him. As Father McGrath j explained in his introductory re- | ! marks, there is a tendency today j Ito belittle the va&K 'f tiie immortal! soul. Those who profess this, wish J to disregard the fact that the hu- j DHUI soul is immortal. They call | the soul by some other name. But ': call it what you may, when that something departs, the body will disintegrate into its constituent ele-, ments. "What is the value of the human body? A learned chemist in Texas j has said that the human body con-! tains enough iron to make a tenj penny nail, enough sulphur to make FR. RUGGERI RETURNS K FROM CONVENTION OF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ' Rev. William Ruggeri, S. J., regent ' of the Arts and Science department, 1 has recently returned from Jackson, ' Mississippi, where he visited as the university delegate to the convention • of the National Alumni Association, i This convention, which was very r widely attended, representing univer-1 sities throughout the country, was , called together for the purpose of inj culcating a greater spirit of loyalty , and friendship between the graduates . and those who are still in the university. Many topics which are of interest to every alumnus were dis- j I cussed before the assembly. Of primary interest among these were: "Alumni Spirit," "University Foundations," "Alumni Conformity with ' ! the Faculty on Athletics." Prominent among the speakers \ " during the convention were Mr. i George Lamprecht of Tulane and Mr. Lawrence Smeuser of Vandders hilt. Mr. Smeuser is secretary of the Vanderbilt Alumni Association and f J editor of the "Vanderbilt Alumni," a | f publication dealing with alumni actis vities in the business world. The next regular meeting of the I National Alumni Association will be ' & held early in the spring, according to II Father Ruggeri. This convention e will in all probability be held in New Orleans. GLEE CLUB TO GIVE SECOND CONCERT OF YEAR OVER WWL The Loyola Glee Club will make I its second appearance of the present school year when the members will give a concert over the university radio station. The program will be under the direction of Mr. Paul Jacobs, director of the organization. This program will be in response to the many letters received from the initial performances of the year when the club broadcasted a number of Christmas songs. It was so well received that the Glee Club will be a regular feature on every Monday light's progrram. Now that the examinations have been concluded, rehearsals have been going forward more rapidly. The cluii is devoting its efftati t» putting a finishing touch on the many songs which have been recently acquired and to learning the new songs which Mr. Jacobs has selected. New Thespians to Present Two-one-act Plays on February 16 The Thespians assisted by the auxiliary will present two one act plays on Sunday, February 16, and Monday, February 17, at 8 o'clock p. m., it was announced by Fr. Ruggeri, faculty advisor of the societies. Everyone has been looking forward to the debut performance of the Thespians which was to have taken place many weeks ago. But, due to the lengthy Christmas recess followed by the disconcerting semester examinations, the rehearsals were interrupted and the plays consequently postponed. The Thespians, however, under the direction of "Doc" Bonomo, the dramatic director, are endeavoring to render a presentation worthy enough to uphold the enviable traditions and reputation of the society. The performance will open with "Barbara," a melodramatic play in one act. The cast includes such i notables as Marion Oulliber in the I title role of "Barbara," Robert j A ins worth as the young hero j "Cecil," with Mildred Shoenekas playing opposite as the little bland heroine "Lilie."' Timothy Duggan portrays the character role of "Finnicum" the lawyer. Following this play will be a one 1 act comedy of much success, "Too Much Married." This offers a pleasant contrast to the dramatic initial ; play. This cast consists of many i capable actors such as Emily Nunez, I Carl Buchmann, Bentley Byrnes, Miss Fatjo, and Clyde de la Hous!saye.PICTURES RECEIVED, PRELIMINARY WORK ON ANNUAL FINISHED i Wolf Staff Requests the Aid Of Student Body In Procuring Ads Robert Ainsworth, editor of the Wolf, has announced that practically all the preliminary work on the 1930 edition of the annual has been completed. Copy for the feature and the sport section as well as pictures of practically every student, have been forwarded to Benson Bros., which firm is again handling the printing end of the work. "Those who have not had their pictures taken yet will not have an oppo.-l.unit!, again this year to ho.c them taken," stated Ainsworth. "Students who neglected to have theirs taken will simply be omitted from the coming issue of the year book. Proofs of all the copy as well as the cuts of the pictures are arriving at the Wolf Office steadily and as fast as they are received they are being corrected in order that no delay will be encountered in the book being completed on time. Snapshots have been pouring in but the request for more still stands good. Students having in their collection ! pictures that would prove interesting are requested to send them in. Whether or not the individual considers those in his collection worthy of publication, if he sends them in, the editorial staff can best decide on ' their value. Finished pictures which have been 1 ordered from the photographer have ' been received and owners can re' ceive theirs by calling at the Wolf ' Office during the noon hour. Anyone ! who wishes to order more pictures ■ may do so by leaving his order with . some member of the staff. :  DELEGATES CHOSEN FOR CONVENTIONS Dr. J. J.
